Perhaps Mike Brown’s mom, Lesley McSpadden, is too busy coordinating the next T-Shirt promotion. Or perhaps Mike Brown Senior is too busy scheduling the next private jet trip to Europe while meeting with celebrities to grift more money from his death. Regardless of reasoning, Mike Brown’s body remains in unmarked grave three months after his death.
A CNN writer visited the cemetery and takes note:
[...] I follow the footprints to a small bouquet of plastic flowers, red and purple, planted in the ground.
There is not yet a headstone at Brown’s grave. I stand where Brown’s parents wailed as their son’s casket was lowered on August 25 into a copper vault. Sixteen days before, he had been shot dead by Ferguson police Officer Darren Wilson.
One minute, the 18-year-old stood 6 feet 4. The next, he fell to the ground on Canfield Drive. His blood colored the dull asphalt.
This is an all too familiar pattern in the nationally publicized deaths of both Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. Both sets of parents too caught up in the merchandising and financial exploitation of the death to actually pay respects to the short-lived life.
Grief takes as back seat when there’s the potential for celebrity and financial gain….
Sound familiar?
Remember: Jesus Loves The Benjamins !
CLASSIC 15 minutes fame.
Is “unmarked grave” supposed to evoke some scintilla of sympathy for this thug? Bury him in a cesspool for that matter and throw Sharpton, Jackson, Holder and Obama in with him.
a copper vault? my gosh, how much did that cost. Bet it won’t be there long now.
CLASSIC 15 minutes fame.
Amen...

I’ll bet you dollars to donuts that was all donated.
Class(lessness) will out.
Who’s financing the “Parents Jet Around”. They don’t have the funds for such activities.
Uhhh, you and me?
She was Roseanne Barrs’ running mate for Prez.VP in 2012 and she was candidate for Governor in Kalipornia this year. Both times for the Peace & Freedom Party (ballot positions in Kalipornia, Flori-duh and Pot-orado)
this article is somehow familiar... lol
Last May, I had to bury my cousins cremains. His good friend placed some items in the small very shallow grave, one of which was a pint of whisky, a cig and lighter.
We got to laughing later, that we bet that grounds keeper went back and had a party that night. lol. My cousin would be laughing as well.
I was thinking more along the lines of some of the agitator groups doing their best to keep the level of animosity at peak levels, but you could be right. Obama via Holder’s DOJ might be funding their Worldly escapades for that purpose.
if the UN paid for their trip to Europe, then the US taxpayers probably picked up 25% of it
Has it been fully accepted/proved that the security footage of Brown stealing cigars and shoving a little guy around is true? Have you noticed that nobody in news reports mentions that this teenager was 6’4” and weighed near 300 lbs, or is that just blue state news? How big is the police officer? Why would a guy who was reported to have been accepted at a college want to jeapordize it by stealing cigars? Fear of success??
Rappers like Snoop Dog. They all stick together, but the celebrators will move on to their next cause and leave these wanna bees behind....
It was Vatterott College. It’s not like they were going to do a background check.
She got more votes than the Republican candidate when she ran against Nancy Pelosi.
